IIDA Awards Co-Chairs Hamblin and Brunini

Professional entries for the 2018 Design Awards were submitted by the firms themselves, and were judged by a three-person panel consisting of William Hanley, Executive Editor of Surface Magazine; Taniya Nayak, Interior Designer, Taniya Nayak Design; and David Oakey, Product Designer, David Oakey Designs. The Design Awards event was created in 2007 to celebrate teamwork and showcase interior design projects throughout New England.

“Over the years this event has grown from a small theater-style event to a grand seated dinner. This year we had more entries and more categories than we have ever had before – as well as more new firms participating than ever before,” said Marcus Hamblin, a designer at Gensler, who co-chaired the event along with Heather Brunini, Workplace Strategy Manager at TotalOffice Interiors, Boston. “From my perspective, it’s truly inspiring to see the incredible design work that’s going on, and to also feel the sense of community – as evidenced by the teamwork it took to put this event together.”
